The 76ers acquired rookie forward Craig Brackins from the New Orleans Hornets for Willie Green and Jason Smith.
The Sixers also got forward Darius Songaila in Thursday's trade.
The Oklahoma City Thunder took Brackins with the 21st overall pick in the NBA draft. He was then traded to New Orleans. Brackins averaged 16.5 points and 8.5 rebounds last season for Iowa State.
Songaila has averaged 7 points and 3.5 rebounds in seven seasons with Sacramento, Chicago, Washington and the Hornets.
"We made the move for these two players to add additional depth to our front court and to add out-court shooting, which was an area that we felt needed improving," President Rod Thorn said. "Songaila is a hard-working, veteran forward who will give us another option up front and Brackins is a rookie that we feel has a chance to develop into a very productive player at this level."
Green played seven seasons with the Sixers, averaging 9.4 points in 422 games. Smith has also spent his entire career with the Sixers, averaging 4.0 points and 2.8 rebounds.
